Ivanka Trump worshiped as 'Goddess' by army of fans – the reason will anger her dad

he popularity of the First Daughter has soared in China since the election of her father, Donald Trump, last November.

Some Chinese fans are even going under the knife to look like the famous blonde.

Despite the cult following her dad has repeatedly clashed with Chinese president Xi Jinping over trade and territorial disputes.

But according to Beijing professor Hu Xingdou, Ivanka, 35, is considered a “bridge” between the two nations.

Now an online fan club dedicated to the former model has sprung up on Chinese social media network Weibo.

The page – called “Goddess Ivanka” – has more than 12,000 followers who fawn over her bombshell good looks, NBC news reports.

Mr Xingdou said her popularity could be due to perceived support for China – in stark contrast to her father.

He said: “Most people in China love Ivanka because of her friendly gestures towards the Chinese people.

“Ivanka is an important bridge during this period of uncertainties in China-US relations.”
